Trump's wife means he could never carry the evangelicals. Huckabee could, and I think even Romney wouldn't put them off. Mormonism is outside the mainstream of Protestantism, but the core of it is similar enough to the other core principles. The life itself has to be fairly clean, and Trump's life could never pass the sniff test from an evangelical. He should get a clue. but he's a lot of fun, and should pump up the ratings as long as he lasts. He and Palin are fun to watch. But God help us if either one becomes president.

As razor-thin as elections have become, I don't expect either party to nominate anyone too far from main-stream. Trump is the hors d' oeuvres platter before the main event. Any Dem who seriously dreamed that Trump had a chance or that the Repubs were insane enough to nominate Trump is delusional, excessively optimistic, or some combination of the two.

Trump has played a real role. He stepped into the Birth Certificate mine field and cleared the way for others after him to be safe of that trap. He let Palin know that men are still scared of a strong Female leader. But damn, didn't we have fun watching Donald slam the biased interviewers with facts. If Trump doesn't run, then the way is opened back up for Palin to fight it out against Daniel. Let's hope that Fox News quits offering the analyst's microphone every night to Daniel's campaign manager, Rove.

Crack is a "quitter", like Sarah Palin was accused of being, who was also stuck and being slowly bled to death by misuse of unique BS rules. Crack retreated out of that choke hold that Google had on his blog and is now attacking from a better position at WordPress where his page views are not warning censored.

Trump's problem is that he is way over qualified for the job of CIC in a time of carefully staged world financial crises. GOP guys are not comfortable with a leader who knows more than they do. And besides he would probably remodel the small White House and expand it onto land taken by eminent domain from the Chinese Embassy.

Just a few weeks ago Doonesbury declared Trump the king of the Tea Party movement? What went wrong? Surely the tea Partiers weren't offended by his Kelo-esque employment of eminent domain, or his past support for universal health care.

"Just a few weeks ago Doonesbury declared Trump the king of the Tea Party movement? What went wrong?"

If you are seriously asking this question, you are mistaken on the premise. The Tea Party is not a monolith. Tea Partiers don't take marching orders, and if they did--they sure as heck wouldn't take them from Doonesbury. (Or the NYT, or CBS, or any of the other lamestream media that attempts to define the Tea Party in ways that they are not.)

As it stands now, Trump is the only man worth voting for. Because I can't wait to watch him serve Chinese take-out to the Chinese premier. And while eating, letting the Dalai Lama in through the front door.

But now the Donald has to get creative. He has to show the electorate exactly how he drove his name to the top of buildings.

I was mocking Doonesbury's recent series (April 18-23 - anyone with a free Gocomics.com account can find it in archive - and read the insipid yes-men comments). Trudeau was portraying Trump as the Tea Party's new co-leader (with Sarah P.) right when Trump's Tea-Party-unfriendly beliefs were starting to get attention.

I don't read Doonesbury; I had a bad episode in a Dr.'s office when "The View" came on and I was looking through my purse for a brick. Luckily I found my mp3 player and saved myself the cost of a flatscreen.
